SummersRadio™ Music News! New Order - 'Ruined In A Day' (K-Klass Reunited In A Day Remix)/ Sunbears! - 'Thieves Like Us'
New Order have just announced that they've signed to the Mute label and they plan to release a new album! The band made the announcement earlier today - no word on release dates or a single or anything further at this time. The news was NME's top story today: http://www.nme.com/news/new-order/79535
I reckon that's good news so let's celebrate with a Stonerhouse™ classic from 1993.
'Ruined In A Day' was released as the second single from their album 'Republic' and this remix was included on their 'The Rest Of New Order' remix compilation from 1995 which is available on iTunes.
This is the 'Reunited In A Day Remix' by K-Klass... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! We featured Sunbears! the other day - here's their amazing cover of New Order's 'Thieves Like Us' from the 2010 compilation called 'Ceremony - A New Order Tribute' which is released on the 24HourServiceStation label and available on iTunes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! Gary Beck - 'Before The Crash' (Original Mix)/ Size 9 - 'I'm Ready' (Remix Version)
Glasgow's Gary Beck has just released a new EP called 'Before The Crash'! The two track EP features the original mix of the title track and a song called 'Hopkin'. It's released on Soma Records and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport:
http://www.beatport.com/#release/before-the-crash/953031
'Before The Crash' is a hypnotic joyride featuring layers of mesmerising sustained synths that will soon be sending signals to your brain luring you to dance... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Now I'm not sure if this is the source or not, but the female vocal sample in 'Before The Crash' reminds me of the vocal bits from Size 9's techno/ house classic 'I'm Ready'.
Size 9 is an alias of Philadelphia's Josh Wink who released this massive club hit in 1995 on his own Ovum Recordings label, which he founded with King Britt in '94. This is the 'Remix Version' in it's full unedited (nearly) twelve minutes of glory... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! The Presets - 'Ghosts'/ 'Split Enz 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat'
The Presets have just released their latest single called 'Ghosts'! 'Ghosts' is the second single (following 'Youth In Trouble') from their forthcoming third album 'Pacifica' which is released September 7th on Modular Recordings.
'Ghosts' is very different from 'Youth In Trouble' - as it's much more laid back affair. I definitely prefer 'Youth...' about 100 times over at this point - but I'm not going to write this one off just yet as they haven't made a proper video (and they do make good ones) and I reckon some remixes could certainly save this one. It sounds a bit like a song one might sing on a boat - so it may go over well with pirates :)
Enjoy... !
Bonus Track! The new Presets single reminded me of a classic seafaring summer tune from another band from downunder - although from New Zealand rather than Australia.
Split Enz released 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat' as the second single from their album 'Time And Tide' way back in 1982. I like this video version of the song as it also includes the brief instrumental tune 'Pioneer' (which preceded the song and segued into it on the album) as it's intro... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ 500th Post Celebration! Classic + Rare Remix! Lush - '500'/ 'Last Night' (Hexadecimal Dub Mix) So I began the 500th Post Celebration with Model 500 - and I shall conclude with '500' - it all fits together you see :)
I hope you've enjoyed the 500th post tuneage... one of my all time favorite spacey electronica tracks - new remixes and free downloads of Oasis and Radiohead songs - the new concert review feature - more free downloads and new music from Tycho and Teen Daze - and a couple classics - one of which is the official debut of another wee feature called 'Bonus Track!' (naturally there's an exclaimation mark as my enthusiasm for music cannot be curbed!) :)
I would like to mention that I have some big plans in mind to take SummersRadio™ to the next level - to allow you to listen to the music continuously - and to allow you to make playlists. Be patient friends - our time will come :)
Ok, enough smiley faces - let's get on with it - the conclusion of our 500th Post Celebration! Aside from the title of this song being apt, it also seems fitting that the band's name is Lush - as I may or may not be sipping alcohol as I write!
<loud gasps followed by a mysterious hush>
Lush is one of the more interesting 90's bands (although their debut EP was released in 1989) - their first two proper albums were largely labelled as shoegazing, but then on their third release they surprisingly went totally Britpop! I enjoy both phases of their career - these two particular tracks are from the Britpop era, but then the remix of the second track definitely leans more towards the former sound.
This is '500' - which was slightly retitled when released as a single as '500 (Shake Baby Shake)' - the third single released from Lush's ace 1996 album 'Lovelife'. The song is a tribute to the Fiat - the Italian car - but it's also a song about escapism. I love the lines 'When things are looking good there's always compilcations' and 'Let's run away and be so alive'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Bonus Track is officially a new feature - although I've done it a few times before - I just didn't come up with a name for it until the Justice post on Sept. 5th. Basically the Bonus Track is an extra song in the post that may or may not be a song by the same artist - or even the same style - just another good song that relates in some small way. In this case the song relates to '500' quite directly - as it was one of the b-side tracks on part 2 of the cd single for '500 (Shake Baby Shake)' - in addition to being released on a rare radio promo-only cd single.
'Last Night' sadly was never a proper single, but certainly a standout track on Lush's 'Lovelife' cd - so I was quite pleased when they released this flawless remix - this is spacey electronica at its finest! The keyboard intro is extended - then the ominous bass drops at one minute in - once you're adequately hypnotized the beautiful vocals of Miki Berenyi begin - then behold... the strings! I love this remix!!! This is the 'Hexidecimal Dub Mix' of 'Last Night'... Enjoy!

Now for the grand finale - I shall release 500 luftballons into the late summer sky...
Cheers!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Justice - 'Audio Video Disco' The new single from the French duo Justice has just been leaked online this weekend! 'Audio Video Disco' is the title track from their forthcoming second album which is due for release on October 25th on Ed Banger Records - and it will be released as the second official single on September 19th.
I do like Justice but at the same time I've always found them to be greatly overrated - and this new song does nothing to change that. It sounds a bit like a previously unreleased Buggles b-side track from 1979! But then, perhaps that was the sound they were going for - this is 'Audio Video Disco'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Just for kicks here's the b-side to The Buggles massive 1979 hit 'Video Killed The Radio Star' - called 'Kid Dynamo' - which I think I may just like a titch more than 'Audio Video Disco' :) Enjoy!
